In a small town in Northern Europe, old carpenter Emil gazed at his dilapidated, ramshackle cottage with a worried look on his face. While most of the town's buildings boasted fresh and elegant exteriors, his own house resembled a weathered old man.
One day, the builders brought in white carved metal panels. The pure white immediately caught Emil's eye, and the texture mimicked the texture of the town's ancient stone walls. The workers carefully installed the panels on the exterior wall, giving the cabin a delicate, white "armor."
